My research interests lie at the overlap of cardiovascular engineering, fluid mechanics, numerical methods for computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing. I am particularly interested in investigating and control of adverse blood flow events in the left heart, past the aortic valve and in the thoracic aorta, mainly those linked to turbulence.
